Sleeping and timing

tinyio.sleep(delay_in_seconds: int | float) -> Coro[None]

tinyio coroutine for sleeping without blocking the event loop.

Arguments:

• delay_in_seconds: the number of seconds to sleep for.

Returns:

A coroutine that just sleeps.

---

tinyio.timeout(coro: Coro[~_T], timeout_in_seconds: int | float) -> Coro[tuple[None | ~_T, bool]]

tinyio coroutine for running a coroutine for at most timeout_in_seconds.

Arguments:

• coro: another coroutine.
• timeout_in_seconds: the maximum number of seconds to allow coro to run for.

Returns:

A coroutine that an be yielded on. This will return a pair of either (output, True) or (None, False), corresponding to whether coro completed within the timeout or not.

Warning

In the event of a timeout, then note that whilst coro will have a TimeoutError arising from the yield point it is currently waiting at, it will not also cancel any other coroutines it has scheduled or is waiting on.

tinyio.TimeoutError(BaseException)

Raised by tinyio.TimeoutError inside a coroutine that has not completed within its timeout.
